  1. thank goodness not on my comic search list ...whew... You'll have to include it eventually, GAtor. nope. Don't include pulps/pulp type pubs. Whew.
  2. Is this from the hoard of 2 or newly found issue?
  3. thank goodness not on my comic search list ...whew...
  4. nope...you did buy a 6.5 at heroes one year, but not this copy...
  5. No sticker prices on the 5.0, 6.5, 7.5? if you have to ask...
  6. I'm actually not selling any more right now. Sold too many at megacon so I need to regroup and refill the coffer with copies. Maybe by summer
  7. roy, was that the copy you bought from me in Charlotte that year
  8. A least buttock knows who outbid him
  9. I couldn't even get that for my 8.5 at megacon
  10. Video's or it didn't happen apparently I am not as flexible as I once was, so you will just have to take my word hehe
  11. my 5.5 was priced at 5495 at megacon this past week... bingo and remember follks, the whole "price per point" was originated by ME!!!! I have now trademarked this and everyone that uses it owes me a quarter...25c...that's right!
  12. I had 7 BA 12's at megacon this past weekend... a cgc 8.5, 9.4, 9.6's and 9.8 not a single one sold....had 9.8 priced at 1500, 9.6 at 795, etc... all under recent gpa recorded sales, yet I didn't sell a single one... and, the production is at or slightly over 25K on this book
  13. comic books on instagram...what will they think of next
  14. Of course I know what happens at other Booths around me at a convention, because I ask and we discuss amongst each other. And sales that happen weeks or even months apart are not necessarily comparable to previous sales in a different market under different market conditions etc. The only way to empirically make a statement that page quality matters to the price of a book or doesnt matter is to collect sales data of same grade books with differing page quality that are available at the same time to perspective buyers and let them dictate whether it matters or not From my historical sales data and sales experience (not sterile data), it absolutely matters and better Page quality books result in higher prices, all other variables being the same I see it time and time and time and time again in my and other dealer sales results, that's proof enough for me And that will be my last statement on this matter in this thread
  15. ahh, but it happens all the time....I have multiples of the same book in grade dozens and dozens of times a year...and make sales that way...and I can prove that it happens in almost every instance (say 90% + of the time) that better pq results in higher demand and higher prices... so I can prove it, and I know it to be true based on my real world sales... the only way to prove your point that pq doesn't result in higher sales or doesn't matter (the ONLY way, you have not proven anything with quoting random data) is to support with sales of lower pq books vs higher at same or better prices, in and under the SAME market conditions...that's pretty clear, right ?
  16. exactly, it means nothing at all... if there is no same grade "alternative" copy with better pq at a reasonable premium to the lessor pq copy, that the ebay buyer had a chance to purchase at the SAME time, there is nothing from which to draw a conclusion... the sale is not relevant or relative to other sales but, when market conditions exist so that one/buyer can make a purchasing decision between 2 copies, with distinquishable (as defined by cgc) pq, THEN the better pq will garner higher demand and higher price in almost every instance (always exceptions)...
